Poetry at NEA - Maggie Hollins 'The Turtle'

17/2/2019

Maggie Hollins 'The Turtle' (multi media with poem) was exhibited in the Bainz Gallery, Wangaratta, as part of Goulburn and North East Arts Alliance group exhibition 'It's in the Bag' in 2018. Maggie read 'The Turtle' at the Summer Solstice Poetry Reading at NEA in December 2018. Our Autumn Equinox Poetry Reading is on Friday 22 March from 7 to 9 pm in Gallery 2. $5 donation.

The Turtle

Our old sea turtle, sight waning
And hungry for jellyfish -
A favourite since his hatching,
Unknowingly ate his last meal, Of plastic jellyfish,
Once dancing to the currents
And clouds of fragmented colour.
Now obstructing his gut.
Our old turtle sups and glides a while,
Between the menacing shapes
Slowly, spewing, garbage,
Until, starved and
Washed up on the shore
Where plastic headstones
Mark ocean graves. Our old turtle,
Tight wrapped with a plastic shield
Gasping and spent, departs.
Just shy of his 58th year

Coming up in Wangaratta - November's wonderful 'Paint Presto' event!

8/9/2018

Paint Presto is a wonderful complement to the Wangaratta Jazz Festival. On Day 2 It's most enjoyable to wonder between venues and come across the artists developing their work in the streets and in the outside venues. Last year on Day 2 (Saturday) 'Paint Day', Janet Leith could be found painting outside the Wangaratta Art Gallery next to the Jazz Festival's WPACC jazz venues; while Frank Burgers had a most enjoyable time along with some other artists in the Blues tent.

The Paint Presto website is well worth visiting if you would like to find out more - https://www.paintpresto.com - and if you would like to apply. The last day for entries is October 30.
